Abstract
An apparatus for attachment of a tow rope to a boat for enhancing the performance of a user engaged in a water sport activity. The apparatus comprises a recoil element attached between the user end and the boat end. The apparatus may attach to a boat, tower or pylon. When a load of sufficient force is applied to the recoil element and then released, the force exerted may provide the user with a boost sling-shot effect. The resulting boost may provide the user with longer airtime thus enabling one to perform better acrobatic maneuvers in the air inside or outside the wake. The recoil properties of the apparatus provide the user with softer landing capabilities. The apparatus further provides no stretch or pull while turning into the wake or when landing a jump.
